Indian Political Thinkers: Modern Indian Political Thought (Hardcover-2024)

For a proper understanding of Indian political scene as we find it today, a thorough study of the prominent political thinkers is very essential.

The book depicts a beautiful picture of the Indian political thinkers, their career, political life and political thoughts. It studies many great leaders from Raja Ram Mohan Roy to Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan.

The Introduction provides the readers a peep into the manner in which the Indian political ideas were adopted from time to time by the political leaders. Impact of these ideas on the political action of the people, particularly, during the Ram Mohan Roy, Gandhi and Nehru era has been specially emphasised.

Chapter 12 lays overwhelming stress on the political thought of Mahatma Gandhi. His ideas are always the guiding principles of the people of the world, in general, and the people of India, in particular, for all ages i.e., past, present and future. Chapters 17 to 20 deal with the political, social and economic ideas of the socialist and the communist leaders of India in an excellent manner.
